why is john mccain so angry? 40 years after the vietnam p.o.w.s came home, the most famous of them is angrier than ever. why is america, why are we fighting the vietnam war all over again in the united states senate? the ticked off vitriol against chuck hagel, what is it about? is it for show? is it about something hagel said in the cloakroom? is it the unfairness of vietnam itself, that some went and some didn't? is it about johnson's inability to win that war or end it? what burns so deeply in john mccain these days? it seems to excite those who knew nothing about vietnam but want to replay it. we dig into the deep well of resentment burning in john mccain's patriotic heart. a resentment not against the north vietnamese who imprisoned and tortured him all those years, not against george w. bush and his political henchmen who tried to stain mccain's reputation back in 2000, but against a guy who fought against fear and rallied against wounds just like he did in the same army of america's long nightmare in vietna

i was thinking of john kerry. >> why? >> because i thought kerry was going to be secretary of state. then i thought susan rice was going to be. so when i watch that ad, that tease there, i said oh my god. this is going to be like wag the dog when they knew the girl was wearing a beret before the girl knew. this is going to be a drama of art proceeding life. where'd you get this idea? >> the original book that was written by michael dobbs, he based his character largely on richard iii because i think he was in margaret thatcher's government. he got out of government with a bad taste in his mouth. he wrote this book as a kind of revenge. and david fincher, it came from david the idea of rebooting the idea to the united states. we thought it would transfer incredibly well. it was a great hit series in britain in the '90s. they called him francis ercot then. >> let me ask you about inside. you played an inside guy like i used to be. inside. not king, not president. those characters seem more interesting today. the ones inside

from the mouths of john mccain and lindsey graham as they slashed away at war hero hagel. badgering the witness is too nice a description. the hawks swirled like buzzards sweeping down, pecking and pulling at the skin of a former colleague who dared to say this country's been too ready to enter wars the american people quickly wish we'd never gotten into. what's with this hatred now centered in the american sunbelt? what do we make of this poll that shows two out of three texas republicans now want our president impeached? why the cussedness, why the range war, why the hatred of anyone who dares to stand with obama? why can't politics be a matter of belief and honest disagreement, not hatred? why the sick little intramurals we saw today? we begin with senator jeanne shaheen of new hampshire. i want you to watch this back-and-forth between john mccain and the witness today, chuck hagel. let's take a look. >> were you correct or incorrect when you said that the surge would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since vietnam? were you correct or incorre

tomorrow, john kerry will be sworn in as clinton's successor of secretary of state. and we'll be right back. >>> welcome back to "hardball." it feels like we report news like this far too often, but today a student was shot in the head at an atlanta middle school and remains hospitalized. the suspect, a fellow student, has been apprehended. keep that in mind as you listen to the right wing voices resisting even common sense gun restrictions. they emptied their entire bag of tricks, everything from why have laws to citizens need military caliber guns because police budgets have been slashed, but one argument made by gayle trotter was slippery and misleading. one democratic senator called her bluff. here is the sequence at a hearing designed to consider whether assault weapons should be banned. trotter told the story of a single mother who used a gun to protect herself and her baby. >> i would like to begin with the compelling story of sarah mckinley, home alone with her baby. she called 911 when two violent intruders began to break down her front door. as the intruder
